Anyone actually get to open presents early or anything?

My parents allowed us to open one present on Christmas Eve, after dinner. No other presents were opened up until ten or eleven the next morning, after everyone was awake and had their belly filled. Present-opening is a group activity.

For years, as long back as I can rememerb I've gotten one present before going to bed Christmas Eve, and any gits that are at the places we go, which usually consits of my father's bosses house, and my grandmothers house.

i usually open them once i receive them. American holidays are usually celebrated partially by my family, so it's not really a gamble with luck to open presents up too early.

December 6th is Saint Nicholas Day, so my mother-in-law fills our stockings with goodies. Then the gifts trickle in from clients at work. Then we usually split holidays between sides of families, so Christmas Eve and sometimes Christmas Eve Eve are Christmas celebrations. That's usually it though.

I had never heard of this until just a few weeks ago... actually, I was job shadowing at some place in a nearby town and all of the people I was with at lunch were talking about it. It almost seems greeting-card-company-holiday-esque in its nature but I dunno.

My sister and I have always been allowed one present on Christmas eve, though my parents have to pick out which one. So it's not always something worthwhile.

I've gotta a couple from friends that I've opened early. A book and a painting.

Today's like my christmas because my family minus my mom is here, so I opened all but like one of my presents already. I don't really plan on Celebrating Christmas on the 25th. I'll be too tired from work and I don't see the point in it.

My best friends and I already did our Secret Santa exchange on Saturday. I ended up getting a bike (I needed one!), some cookbooks, bendy straws (yay!), and kitchen-y stuff.

Only problem is that the bike is too big for me (it was a mountain bike) and so I'm gonna try and exchange it for something smaller and more usable for riding around campus.

No. I mean, I could, no problem. But it'd probably upset my mom, and I don't need to deal with that on top of all my other right now.

One week ealier should be pretty earlier.

I got to open my present from my best friend last week when I saw him I got a cute little spider necklace, and I'll probably open the presant from my boyfriend tomorrow, just cause I really want to know what the hell it is.

[Khaotic]

I always get mine early...

[Little Blue]

In my house, my folks have always insisted that we open presents on Christmas day. We have a tradition that we wait til about 10 or 11 in the morning before we open them, but sometimes I got to open one when I get up a few hours earlier, so that kinda counts I guess

[Rye]

Nope, usually not. I did get one present very early for Christmas this year though, my nice green jacket.

[KentaRawr!]

I never get to open my presents early. However, I do FIND the presents, and partially open them so I can at least find out what they are. Also, when I gave my friends at school Christmas gifts, only one of them listened to me when I said "Wait until Christmas."
